Released on 18/11/2011

The winners of this year's Energy Institute (EI) Awards were announced at a ceremony in London on 17 November, hosted by physicist and BBC Science presenter, Prof Brian Cox OBE. The EI Awards recognise innovation and excellence amongst individuals and organisations working in the global energy sector.

Sarah Beacock FEI, Professional Affairs Director, Energy Institute, says, ‘Congratulations to all the winners to this year’s EI Awards, but also to all those who entered. We broke the record of entries since the launch of the competition back in 1999 and their quality made judging particularly challenging. This is why so many nominations are also being highly commended.’

Ms Beacock continues, ‘The energy sector is dynamic and forward-thinking, and these Awards provide industry with an opportunity to recognise and reward organisations and individuals who demonstrate such dynamism and forward-thinking on a daily basis. We thank all the participants for the important contribution they make to the energy sector and, by extension, to society.’

The winners were selected as best in their category from a panel of judges representing all areas of the energy sector.
